Throw The Key Away

Its been years since that night
So long ago now, so far away;
But I remember that cruel fight
Like if it was yesterday

I remember his lips all over mine
I remember the way he laughed at me
I remember every single time
He cut into my body

But I bet he forgot about it by now
I bet he thinks thats over and done
He doesn't know about my sacred vow
To finish what he begun

Today I watch him leave his home
I watch him get into his car
I follow him, he's all alone
Like usual, he doesn't go far

He goes inside the bar to drink
I turn off my car and wait
"soon he'll pay for what he did" I think,
Sooner is always better than late

Hours pass and the place closes down
Their is no one in the streets
He stumbles out searching around
Hardly able to keep on his feet

I get out my car, gun in one hand
I hear the distant cries of my childhood
Nothing can stop me from killing this man
And no one will in this neighborhood

He sees me walking toward him smiling
He starts to smile back at me
He doesn't notice the gun that I'm holding
It's too dark for him to see

I point the gun to his face
And he falls to the ground in surprise
This is the man that once took my grace?
This man that can't even look me in the eyes?

I feel no pity toward him at all
I feel nothing but deep disgust
But still I cant help but stall
Though I know his death is a must

I look down at him crying and begging
I remember when I did the same
I remember he just started laughing
Telling me to call out his name

"Remember a little girl, back in 93?,
Remember how you raped her soul?,
Well that little girl is me
Taking vengeance to its toll

Two shots ring out in the night
One to each of his knees
He screams in pain though does not fight
But only begs me please

I laugh the way he did back then
And all he can say is sorry
"Its too late, today its your end
I'll make it quick don't you worry

I put the gun to his head
And pull the trigger once more
He falls to the ground; dead
With the same expression I had once before

The look of fear in his eyes
The look of feeling dead
Though he killed my soul
From deep within instead

I walk away, vengeance was mine
He paid the crime he commited that day
All is finally well in my mind
You can lock me now and throw the key away
